Chapter 56 Releasing Two Women
Chapter 56 Releasing Two Women
I don't really want to recall those glorious years, since many of my senior sisters are no longer with us.
So, Luo Qing asked about the matter that Nie Shan was unwilling to mention:
"Uncle Nie cared for me so much when I was still a disciple. I am truly grateful."
Nie Shan understood the sarcasm in Luo Qing's words, but he was not angry. Instead, he sat down cross-legged on the futon opposite Luo Qing with a solemn expression.
Immediately, he flicked his sword finger and summoned a prepared soundproof talisman, which condensed into an invisible shield around the two of them, preventing sound and divine sense from passing through.
Seeing his reaction, Luo Qing's expression also turned serious, as if the other party intended to continue the topic that he had previously been unwilling to delve into.
"Nephew Luo, if you hadn't managed to shatter the array's core on Xiaohuan Island, causing the array master to suffer a backlash, I wouldn't have been able to escape so easily."
So, in a way, you saved my life!
Nie Shan looked serious and bowed to Luo Qing.
Although your process was completely wrong, the result was indeed correct.
Luo Qing's heart stirred, and she returned the greeting:
"Uncle Nie, you're too kind. I was only trying to save my own life and dared not claim credit."
"That may be true, but a life-saving grace is a life-saving grace, and I cannot rest easy if I do not repay it."
Nie Shan waved his hand, his tone firm.
Hmm? This Nie Shan seems quite capable!
"I know you've always held a grudge against me and Senior Brother Wang for our actions. Today, I'll tell you the truth: we were just fighting for our lives and had no malicious intent."
After all, that Senior Brother Wu Chou is truly unpredictable and difficult to fathom, and he's also a blood relative of the Ancestor; we absolutely cannot afford to offend him.
After his opening remarks, Nie Shan recounted the whole story, which made Luo Qing sigh with emotion.
"In that case, Uncle-Master Nie is my savior. Please accept my bow!"
Luo Qing finally understood where the residual medicinal power of the Qi and Blood Pill came from, and immediately got up to bow to Nie Shan.
"Nephew Luo, there's no need for this. I was the one who saved you, and I was also the one who starved you to the point of near death. I have done you no favors."
Upon seeing this, Nie Shan immediately stopped Luo Qing, then patted his storage bag and took out a fluffy little thing.
Luo Qing recognized it at a glance: this was Meng Bao's "physical body"!
"This item should have been yours. I've never been able to figure it out, so I'm returning it to its rightful owner today."
After handing Meng Bao's body to Luo Qing, Nie Shan got up and prepared to leave.
"Uncle-Master Nie, please wait. I understand that you want me to avoid contact with Uncle-Master Wu Chou, but why can't I even go to Xuanhun Peak?"
Despite having many doubts, Luo Qing temporarily put away Meng Bao's physical body and called out to Nie Shan to ask.
"It's my fault for not explaining things clearly before."
Nie Shan stopped and turned around to explain:
"Liu Yueru of Xuanhun Peak is not only at the peak of Foundation Establishment, but more importantly, she is Wu Chou's chosen dual cultivation partner."
Once Wu Chou successfully forms his core, the two will marry and cultivate together the profound dual cultivation techniques within the *Mysterious Yin Scripture*.
At this point, a hint of envy flashed in Nie Shan's eyes:
"It is said that once this secret technique is mastered, and the two of them advance to the late Core Formation stage, they will be able to briefly contend with Nascent Soul cultivators when they join forces!"
"I see."
Luo Qing suddenly realized why Liu Yueru could repeatedly break the rules of the sect and still get away with it.
So it turns out she was Wu Chou's cultivation partner!
As a blood relative of the Extreme Yin Ancestor, Wu Chou can use secret techniques to refine himself and become the Extreme Yin Ancestor's possessing incarnation.
Its effect is far greater than that of one or two Heavenly Corpses alone!
"Wait a minute, something seems off!"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Luo Qing's primordial spirit, and he noticed something unusual.
"If that dual cultivation technique is so powerful, why did the Extreme Yin Ancestor only bring Wu Chou with him during the trip to the Void Heaven Palace, and not Liu Yueru?"
It couldn't possibly be because she gave birth on the Yin Island!
unless...."
Finally, Luo Qing's eyes widened, and a terrifying guess popped into her mind.
"Uncle-Master Nie!"
"What is it now?"
Nie Shan couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
"I would like to ask my junior uncle for another small favor!"
Luo Qing bowed deeply and clasped his hands in greeting.
......
Half a day later, Nie Shan was meditating in the core cabin of the bone warship when a restriction on the bone wall in front of him suddenly lit up.
"Junior Nephew Nie, what's wrong with you? Can't you even control a warship properly?"
Fox-faced Demon's voice came from within the barrier, his tone full of disgust.
Ever since he learned from Liu Yueru that Nie Shan had failed to even break a single outer formation before suffering a crushing defeat and fleeing back in panic, he had maintained this attitude.
"The spirit stones in the treasury must be insufficient. I will go and replenish them immediately."
Nie Shan quickly opened his eyes, stood up, and replied.
"Then hurry up! If you fall behind, don't expect this peak master to wait for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the restriction dimmed again.
Nie Shan pushed open the door and went out, but instead of going to the spirit stone warehouse on the warship, he sent a disciple to handle it, while he himself went to the deck.
He could see more than a dozen warships flying in a cluster ahead, but the one he was standing on was slightly out of the group.
A moment later, some changes occurred in the sea below them. The seawater turned slightly reddish, and a large number of red reefs appeared on the surface of the sea. They varied in size and were numerous!
Seeing this, Nie Shan knew the time had come and said directly to those behind him:
"Come out."
The bone gate opened, and Yuan Yao and Yan Li stepped out of the warship, looking around warily.
"Don't worry, this is the Golden Sun Sea Area. Recently, the Golden Sun Secret Realm has opened again, and the spiritual energy within a radius of tens of thousands of miles will undergo changes."
If a cultivator exposes their divine sense to this for an extended period, their primordial spirit will inexplicably become tainted by the fire poison. Therefore, no one would unnecessarily extend their divine sense to investigate.
After explaining to the two women, Nie Shan seemed to remember something and couldn't help but offer some advice:
"All of you spies on the island have been compromised. If you defect, you will inevitably become thieves hunted by the Star Palace, forced to hide and become rogue cultivators."
Life here will be much harder than going back to the island. Don't you really want to reconsider?
"Thank you, senior. My sister and I have thought it through. We would rather become independent cultivators than go back to the old days."
Yanli thought to herself, "We're just imposters, we're not afraid at all, okay?"
"Senior, doesn't Senior Brother Luo have anything to tell us?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Yao asked with a somewhat complicated expression.
She didn't develop any feelings for him, but she found it very strange that Luo Qing agreed to help them escape without forcing them to make a vow against their inner demons, and even asked a Foundation Establishment cultivator to help them!
"The fact that you even asked a question shows that Junior Nephew Luo did not misjudge you."
Nie Shan had clearly misunderstood.
To be honest, he was speechless.
When Luo Qing asked him for help earlier, he thought it was something troublesome, but it turned out to be about two female spies!
Good heavens, not only is it still the same as when he was a disciple, but it's clearly gotten even worse!
